The Coaches

track and field coach and program coordinator and is in his 17th
season with the Hoosiers.

Coaches' Outlook
Indiana head women's track and field coach Randy Heisler:"We certainly have some good competition this weekend.
We are seeded first in only one or two events. After last weekend
we had 26 lifetime bests on the team and 18 different people
were on the edge of posting national qualifying marks. But,
I do not want to be just close. We are looking for as many top
individual performances as we can get at this point in the season."
Indiana head men's track and field coach Marshall Goss:"We are hoping to carry over our success from last weekend
into this meet and post as many personal bests as we can. We
will be looking at a number of different people in a some different
events and we will rest some other people so we may not be in
the best position to win the meet, but we are looking forward
to some high quality performances."

The men posted an 89-73 victory while the women won 99-62.
